Chapter 236: Selling physical albums will lose money!



However, after Zhang Yingyuan and Su Yin signed the contract, this person disappeared.

Zhou Yiyang could clearly see his whereabouts from his circle of friends.

This 56-year-old director actually went to a mountainous area on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau to collect folk songs.

Seeing him traveling back and forth between various simple and remote mountain villages just to make the characters in the movie more realistic, to be honest, Zhou Yiyang, as a junior, was quite impressed.

But right now, Zhou Yiyang has more important things to focus on.

Moonlight Girl's new album is released.

The warm-up started from the New Year's Eve party and it set the Internet on fire with "DreamitPossible".

This album can be said to have attracted the attention of countless people.

Impatient netizens and fans have already opened the homepage of Black Whale Music, waiting for the pre-sale window to pop up.

However, what they didn't expect was that they waited from midnight until noon that day, but Black Whale Music had no response.

For a while, Black Whale Music was scolded by fans who were urging them to release an album and became a hot topic.

"You won't stand me up, will you?"

"Where are the people from Black Whale Music? Is it true that our Yue Shao's album is not worthy of your pop-up recommendation?"

"This is so fake! Even Black Whale is promoting a certain internet celebrity's new song today! It seems like our Yue Shao is no match for him."

"Don't you think this is another marketing ploy by our CEO Zhou? I don't think he's capable of such a thing!"

"What the sister above said makes a lot of sense. What wouldn't Zhou Yiyang do to gain popularity?"

The operator of the official Black Whale Music Weibo account felt tired after seeing tens of thousands of insults on Weibo.

He really wanted to shout out loud, it was not that they were unwilling to give Yue Shao a recommendation position, but that they had no intention of releasing a digital album at all.

The operation had to recall what happened three hours ago.

Xiaobei is a new intern at Black Whale Music.

As soon as he entered the company today, he found that the whole company was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

"What's going on?" Xiaobei asked in surprise.

"Young Master Yue is releasing a new album!" a senior said proudly, "I think the first-day record for a digital album will be broken again. How can we not be happy?"

"Oh, oh, oh," Xiaobei realized. "When I opened my Moments this morning, a lot of people were sharing Yue Shao's new song. They're actually going to release a new album? I'm afraid they're going to take up all the top ten spots on the new song chart."

"Yeah, they're really popular!" A female colleague laughed. "Speaking of which, our leader is really foresighted. He established a good relationship with Yue Shao and signed an exclusive contract with Yi Yang Entertainment. You have no idea how jealous the neighbors are!"

However, before the happy atmosphere could spread, a man suddenly walked in with a look of despair.

"Well," the man coughed lightly and announced a shocking news: "Mr. Zhou from Yiyang Entertainment just called me. Moonlight Girls confirmed that they will not release a paid digital album."

"What?"

"Not releasing an album anymore?"

For a moment, everyone in the department was dumbfounded.

Although Zhou Yiyang never promised them that he would release a digital album, they subconsciously agreed to it.

"Well, it's not like they're not releasing an album," the man explained tiredly, "They're going to release a physical copy, and the digital album will be free, but it won't be released until next week."

"Holy crap!" Xiao Bei couldn't help but yell, "This Zhou Yiyang is really unconventional! Does anyone really still buy physical albums these days?"

"And the digital album is free. He's really heartless!"

Zhou Yiyang indeed thought carefully for a long time before making this decision.

The physical album market is indeed dead.

But Zhou Yiyang really didn't want to die like this.

He wanted to give it a try.

Since fan economy can revitalize digital albums, can't physical albums do the same?

At 12 noon, Zhou Yiyang sat on a bench in the crew and posted a new Weibo under the attention of everyone.

@Yiyang Entertainment: Hello, Moonlight Girls fans! Moonlight Girls' debut album "Youngsters" is now officially on sale!

To make it easier for fans to collect, the new album will be released in the form of a physical album.

A week later, the digital album will be released on Black Whale Music and Moonlight, and members can listen to it for free forever!

All regular editions come with a random signed photo! The Collector's Edition also includes a voucher for Moonlight Girl's tour tickets. Hurry and purchase now! Click the link...

As soon as this Weibo post was released, it became a hot topic again.

It is not uncommon for a new album to be released with high traffic, even if it breaks records.

However, it is rare to only sell physical albums and make digital albums completely free.

Although passers-by thought this action was strange, their bodies were still very honest and they all liked this Weibo post.

After all, an album that you can listen to for free forever as long as you buy a membership can be said to be a breath of fresh air in today's era where everyone has to sell digital albums.

There are also fans of Moonlight Girl who gave advice to those who want to get it for free in the comments:

"If my analysis is correct, Yue Shao's new album can also be listened to on Moonlight. Moonlight members are currently having a promotion where you can buy a two-year membership for 99. It's much cheaper than the 99-a-year Black Whale Music membership.

However, Moonlight’s resources are relatively limited, and most of them are works by Yiyang Entertainment’s own artists~”

For Moonlight Girl's fans, they are not as angry as some people outside think.
